Shemar Moore will present the Lifetime Achievement Honor to Susan Lucci while Jennifer Nettles will perform “Life is Sweet” for the In Memoriam segment at the 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards Dec. 15.

Moore famously presented Lucci her first Daytime Emmy Award in 1999 after she was nominated 19 times for playing Erica Kane in All My Children. Moore exclaimed “the streak is over!” after opening the envelope.
